The poultry sector is facing significant challenges as it strives to meet the projected global demand for protein by 2050. In a recent discussion, industry expert Jan Vanbrabant, CEO of EW Nutrition, shared insights on the pivotal role poultry plays in sustainable protein production.
Understanding the Demand
According to Vanbrabant, “Animal protein, particularly poultry, is a reliable, safe, and sustainable source of nutrition.” With global populations on the rise, the demand for quality protein sources is increasing rapidly. Poultry not only meets this need but also offers distinctive advantages in sustainability compared to other meat sources.

EW Nutrition is actively innovating to enhance the sustainability of poultry farming. This includes research into efficient feed formulations, improving animal health, and minimizing environmental impact. Vanbrabant emphasizes the importance of these advancements, stating, “Sustainable practices in poultry farming are not just a trend; they are essential for the future.” Through these efforts, EW Nutrition aims to ensure that poultry remains a compelling option in the global food supply chain.
A Vision for 2050
As the landscape of food production evolves, Vanbrabant believes the poultry sector can effectively adapt and thrive. He expresses optimism for the industry, saying, “We must embrace innovation and collaboration to meet global protein needs sustainably.” The vision for 2050 is clear: a poultry sector that supports both human health and environmental stewardship.
